Railway applications - Fire protection on railway vehicles - Part 2: Requirements for fire behaviour of materials and components

This part of EN 45545  specifies the reaction to fire performance requirements for materials and products used on railway vehicles as defined in EN 45545-1.
The operation and design categories defined in EN 45545-1 are used to establish hazard levels that are used as the basis of a classification system.
For each hazard level, this part specifies the test methods, test conditions and reaction to fire performance requirements.
It is not within the scope of this European Standard to describe measures that ensure the preservation of the vehicles in the event of a fire.

Bahnanwendungen - Brandschutz in Schienenfahrzeugen - Teil 2: Anforderungen an das Brandverhalten von Materialien und Komponenten

Dieser Teil der EN 45545 legt die Brandschutzanforderungen an Werkstoffe und Komponenten für Schienenfahrzeuge nach EN 45545-1 fest.
Die Betriebs- und Bauartklassen nach EN 45545-1 werden verwendet, um die Gefährdungsstufen (en: Hazard Level; HL) zu ermitteln, nach denen sich die Anforderungen des Klassifizierungssystems orientieren.
Für jede Gefährdungsstufe legt dieser Teil die Prüfmethoden, Prüfbedingungen und die Anforderungen an das Brandverhalten fest.
Maßnahmen, die die Erhaltung der Fahrzeuge im Brandfall sicherstellen, gehören nicht zum Anwendungs-bereich dieser Europäischen Norm.

Applications ferroviaires - Protection contre les incendies dans les véhicules ferroviaires - Partie 2: Exigences du comportement au feu des matériaux et des composants

Cette partie de l’EN 45545 spécifie les exigences de performance de réaction au feu pour les matériaux et produits utilisés à bord de véhicules ferroviaires telles que définis dans l’EN 45545-1.
Les catégories d’exploitation et de conception définies dans l’EN 45545-1 sont utilisées pour établir les niveaux de risque servant de base au système de classification.
Pour chaque niveau de risque, cette partie spécifie les méthodes d’essai, les conditions d’essai, et les exigences de performance de réaction au feu.
Il n’est pas dans le champ d’application de la présente Norme européenne de décrire les mesures de protection des véhicules lors d’un incendie.

Železniške naprave - Požarna zaščita na železniških vozilih - 2. del: Zahteve za obnašanje materialov in sestavnih delov v požaru

Ta del standarda EN 45545 določa zahteve odziva na ogenj za materiale in proizvode, ki se uporabljajo na železniških vozilih, kot je opisano v standardu EN 45545-1.
Obratovalne in konstrukcijske kategorije, podane v standardu EN 45545-1, se uporabljajo za določanje stopenj tveganja, ki so podlaga za razvrstitev v sistem.
Za vsako stopnjo tveganja so v tem delu specifikacije določene preskusne metode, preskusni pogoji in zahteve odziva na ogenj.
V okviru tega evropskega standarda niso opisani ukrepi, ki zagotavljajo zaščito vozil v primeru požara.

Introduction
EN 45545-2 has been developed from existing fire safety regulations for railway vehicles from the
International Union of Railways (UIC) and different European countries.
In using the operation and design categories defined in EN 45545-1, the requirements laid down in this
part take into account the current operating conditions for European public rail transport.

1 Scope
This part of EN 45545 specifies the reaction to fire performance requirements for materials and
products used on railway vehicles as defined in EN 45545-1.
The operation and design categories defined in EN 45545-1 are used to establish hazard levels that are
used as the basis of a classification system.
For each hazard level, this part specifies the test methods, test conditions and reaction to fire
performance requirements.
It is not within the scope of this European Standard to describe measures that ensure the preservation
of the vehicles in the event of a fire.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 45545-1:2013 apply.
4 Requirements
4.1 Essential fire safety objectives
The design of rolling stock and the products used shall incorporate the aim of limiting fire development
should an ignition event occur so that an acceptable level of safety is achieved.
If the objectives defined in Clause 4 of EN 45545-1:2013 are met, then there should be a high
probability that in the event of a fire, passengers and staff will be able to escape from the fire unaided
and be able to reach a place of safety.
Hazard levels (HL1 to HL3) have been determined using a product of the relation between operation
categories and design categories defined in EN 45545-1, as described in Table 1. Hazard levels are used
in Table 5 for Material Fire Safety requirement classification.
